Banking API Integration
B
Banking API integration is the secure integration of logistics ERP systems, such as CargoWise, and external banking platforms via application programming interfaces. These APIs provide real-time communication for processes like payment processing, bank reconciliation, and fund transfers, all from within the ERP.

Instead of manually initiating payments or visiting bank portals, users can authorize transactions, validate account information, and confirm fund transfers all from a single interface. This increases financial accuracy, speeds up processing, and ensures compliance across worldwide businesses.
